Chapter 641

In the dwellings in the town, the officers and soldiers of the new army heard the shouts of killing erupting outside, and knew that the Jianlu had begun to attack the town.Their eyes were shining brightly, and they were eager to try, wishing to rush out and join the ranks of the slaughter, to have an explanation for their hard work to come to North Korea, and to give an explanation to the emperor's expectations.

Cao Bianjiao is also a young man, and he also had the same impulse when he heard the sound of fighting.But after discussing with Lu Xiangsheng in advance, he said to the people in the house, or to himself: "Our ultimate goal is the batch of grain. If we attack now, although we can enjoy it, but if we can't fight, we will run away. It is very likely that the food on the way will be burned, and we will not be able to save it in time. Therefore, if we want to participate in the war, we must wait for the food to be transported outside the town!"

Feng Dehua also played the role of his supervisor at this time, and also said to the people in the house: "I believe that Mr. Zhongcheng will definitely be able to block the attack of the Jianlu. You all hold back for our family, and when it is time to fight, let the Dongjiang Army Look, the new army is invincible!"

"The new army is invincible!" The soldiers in the room clenched their fists and responded in agreement.

At this time, outside the wall, Jianlu's main siege force was ordered to spread their legs, without formation, and ran towards the wall at the fastest speed.On the official roads and in the fields, there are densely packed Jianlu everywhere.Looking at this momentum, changing to a more timid opponent would definitely turn pale with fright, and the combat power would have to be compromised.

However, the Ming army defending today is the [-] Ming army selected by Lu Xiangsheng from the Dongjiang army.The most important thing is that each of them knows that there is still a new army in the room behind them.I dug a hole on my side, and I was waiting for Jianlu to jump into it.Therefore, although Jianlu showed such a powerful momentum, none of the Ming soldiers on the wall panicked, but tried their best to kill the enemy.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw the situation outside the town, he sneered and immediately ordered the crossbowmen to shoot arrows.

The sound of "bang bang bang" sounded intensively, and the crossbow arrows shot out in parallel, like a wave facing the Jianlu rushing towards him.

The sound of "噗噗噗" sounded continuously, and the running Jianlu fell one by one, unable to hold back the momentum, rolled forward and fell to the ground, or remained motionless, or clutched his wound and was dying.

Many of the Jianlu behind them were blocked by the fallen Jianlu in front of them, and they also came to a gourd, but most of them could stand up immediately and attack again.Although there were casualties, none of the attacking Jianlu flinched, and they were still charging.

On the fence, the crossbowmen were still shooting, and some of the Jianlu who were charging fell to the ground.But after all, Jianlu's charge was spread out. Even if someone fell to the ground with an arrow, in the end, many people rushed to the wall and joined the ranks of hand-to-hand combat.Suddenly, the pikemen inside the wall felt the pressure.

In the distance, Duoduo kept watching, seeing many of his subordinates being shot by crossbows, he couldn't help but look gloomy.He also had to feel in his heart that the crossbows in Governor Denglai's hands were indeed quite a lot, and they were very powerful.

After seeing that the main attack had passed, Duoduo looked up at the sky, and then ordered the archers to step forward and shoot arrows into the town regardless of the cost, so as to interfere with the support of the Ming army on the wall.

This order requires skilled archers.Otherwise, if the strength of the bow and arrow is not well controlled, it is easy to shoot and injure the friendly troops who are attacking the wall.Other troops may not have such archers, but Duoduo has a group of such archers.

So, behind the siege troops, Jianlu archers stepped forward again, drew their bows, raised their bows, and shot arrows.

"Puff puff……"

"what……"

Lu Xiangsheng heard voices from time to time around him, and watched the Jianlu archers move forward again, frowning for a moment.At this time, the crossbowmen were shooting and killing the Jianlu who charged to attack the town, so as to kill the enemy most effectively.But if those Jianlu archers were allowed to shoot and injure their own side, the casualties of the subordinates guarding behind the wall would also increase a lot.

At this moment, Gao Yingyuan beside him suddenly said: "Your Majesty suggested that some of the archers of the new army can be used. Jianlu is already on the verge of riding a tiger. Even if he knows that the strength of the town is not right, he will not withdraw."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he turned his head and glanced at him, knowing that he should have reported the battle situation here to the emperor far away in the capital in real time.He thought it was the same reason, so he didn't say anything more, and immediately ordered some archers from the new army to participate in the battle.

The archers of the new army are all sharpshooters drawn from various armies.In terms of personal skills, except for a few of the best archers in Jianlu, the other Jianlu archers are not opponents of the new army's archers.

Therefore, as soon as the archers of the new army joined the battlefield, the Jianlu archers who had been shooting arrows unscrupulously fell to the ground in succession.

This situation immediately surprised Duduo, who was commanding from the rear.He couldn't help but turn pale and said, "Why does the Dongjiang Army still have such powerful archers?"

Having crossbowmen is already enough of a headache, but with another batch of archers, the attack intensity is very high, and the casualties have increased significantly, which is a bit unbearable for Doduo.

He felt sorry for the archer, and had no choice but to let him back down. After all, the archers of the Ming army were covered by walls, but he had no cover on his side, so it was too disadvantageous to shoot.

Then, Duoduo ordered his men to beat the drums to strengthen the front line's attack strength.

Immediately, the sound of the "dong dong dong" drum became more rapid, and the Jianlu under the wall heard it, and the attack became more intense.When one Jianlu was poked down, the other Jianlu immediately went up.There were even some brave Jianlu who directly threw their shields, looked at the right moment, grabbed the end of the protruding gun, and pulled it out with all their strength, or pulled out a long gun, or even pulled out a person with a gun.

Continuously poking out forcefully, the spearman of Dongjiang Army soon felt his arm was weak.Gradually, some Jianlu on the wall attacked the wall, but with the cooperation of strong crossbowmen, when they saw Jianlu climbing the wall, they immediately shot him down with an arrow.Therefore, although it was dangerous, Jianlu was not allowed to attack the town.

In a short period of time, many crossbows were damaged due to their high rate of fire and frequent use.The Ming army behind the wall is no longer just spearmen, other soldiers with long weapons have also gone up.Those Ming soldiers who were wounded or killed in battle were carried by full-time soldiers to some large houses in the town.The new army has full-time medical officers who are busy here treating the wounded.

This battle has been fierce from the very beginning.This level of intensity was unprecedented for all Ming troops, including Lu Xiangsheng.Jianlu's toughness is indeed well-deserved!
